Julio Amil y taller, “Vejigantes 2020”, 2022, Video, 22:11 mm. Cortesia del artista.

Afro-Sur es una exposición colectiva en el Museo Histórico Ramón Rivera Bermúdez de Coamo. 

A través de esta muestra sus organizadores buscan que la misma pueda servir de plataforma para la visibilización de las perspectivas artísticas de los artistas afro puertorriqueños del sur de la Isla. En ella podemos observar como cada uno de los artistas participantes aborda en su obra la cuestión de su afrodescendencia y su experiencia cotidiana, a través de diversas técnicas, que incluyen medios mixtos, video arte, óleo, fotografía, acrílico y escultura en pequeño y gran formato.

Esta muestra reúne por primera vez la obra de los siguientes 12 artistas: Jean “Baco” Ortiz, David Zayas, Alejandro Rodríguez, Ismael Figueroa, Julio Amil, Julio Lugo Rivas, Brendamaris Rodríguez, Vitaly López, Ketsia Camacho Ramos, Rachel Smith Sepúlveda, Ramón López y S. Damary Burgos.

Organizado por el Proyecto Curatorial Edwin Velazquez / Casa Silvana. Co-curaduría de Glorisabel Santos.
